Seo sraith cláracha faisnéise le polaiteoirí aitheanta nach bhfuil gníomhach sa pholaitíocht níos mó. Inniu, cloisfimid an dara ceann de dhá chlár leis an Urramach Trevor Sargent, Iar-Cheannaire ar an gComhaontas Glas. Nuair a thug sé droim láimhe don pholaitíocht, dhírigh Sargent ar an eaglais agus chuaigh sé leis an sagartóireacht. Deir sé san agallamh le Séamus Mac Donnchadha inniu go bhfuil cosúlachtaí idir gairmeacha an pholaiteora agus an tsagairt, ach go bhfuil sásamh i bhfad níos mó ag baint leis an sagartóireacht. Tá an t-iar pholaiteoir anois ina dhéagánach in Eaglais na hÉireann i nDeoise an Chaisil, Fhearna agus Osraí in oir-dheisceart na tíre, agus tá sé freisin ina chathaoirleach ar Chumann Gaelach na hEaglaise, ag cothú na Gaeilge in Eaglais na hÉireann. Is é Séamus Mac Donnchadha a chuirfidh an clár i láthair.
This is a new summer series, featuring interviews with well-known politicians who are no longer active in public life. Today, we’ll hear the second of two programmes with Trevor Sargent. When Sargent left political life, he turned to a life within the church, and is now a deacon in the Church of Ireland. In the interview today, he tells Séamus Mac Donnchadha that there are similarities in the life of a politician and a deacon, but that there is far more satisfaction to be found from his new vocation. He is ministering now in the Church of Ireland parish of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory in the southeast of the country, and he is also the chairperson of the Irish Language Society within the church, helping to promote the language there. He speaks to Séamus Mac Donnnchadha today about it.
